Why you may see NCA
on your credit report

If you notice National Credit Adjusters on your credit report, it may be because NCA acquired the account and is reporting it directly to the credit bureaus. When NCA reports the account, we follow state and federal reporting requirements.

For accounts reported by NCA:

  • A paid-in-full status typically appears 30–45 days after payment is received.

  • NCA requests deletion of its tradeline 60–90 days after the account is satisfied.

  • NCA cannot change or delete information reported to the credit bureaus by  originating creditors.

Credit bureaus determine how information is displayed. If you have questions about what you are seeing, our support team can help you understand what the item refers to.
